DWI Arrests

Our Raleigh criminal defense attorneys treat every case with equal gravity, whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor.
Has your driver's license been suspended? Our traffic ticket lawyers can save you time, frustration, and money.
The moment that handcuffs click shut behind you in Wake County, your life is in a delicate balance. Several possibilities await you. You could face charges, be convicted of those charges and face the harshest possible consequences. Or, your charges could be reduced or dismissed, or you could be acquitted and your life could return to normal.
Your choices now will determine the outcome. The best choice you can make is to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney dedicated to defending your freedom and who knows the prosecutors, judges, and court procedures in Wake County.
A Raleigh criminal defense lawyer from Coolidge Law Firm can represent you on any criminal charge before Wake County courts, from speeding to drug charges to murder.

At Coolidge Law Firm, we use our broad range of experience and skills to defend your rights and your freedom. Whether your case calls for negotiating with prosecutors for reduced charges or diversion, challenging evidence so that your charges are dropped, or arguing to a jury for your acquittal, we zealously represent your rights throughout the criminal process.
We represent clients on state charges in Wake County and federal charges throughout much of North Carolina, including in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Wendell, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, and Garner.
Attorney David Coolidge graduated from the Duke University School of Law in the top 5 percent of his class. Most people who graduate from the top of their class from such a prestigious institution opt for the big paychecks of a corporate attorney. David Coolidge, however, had a passion for defending the rights of the accused.
He founded Coolidge Law Firm to represent the parents, grandparents, students, professionals, workers, retirees and anyone else who finds himself or herself a "defendant" in a Wake County or Federal court. At Coolidge Law Firm, we will work tirelessly to achieve the best result possible for every client. We have successfully represented clients in situations just like yours and while we cannot guarantee a specific result, we will never stop fighting for you.
We understand the trust that you give us in defending your rights in Wake County criminal court and we promise that we will be available to you, to answer your calls, address your concerns, nights, weekends, by cell phone, email, or text message. The criminal justice system does not take holidays, and neither do we when our client's freedom depends on us.
A person can face state or federal charges in Wake County. Most criminal accusations are for violations of North Carolina law. If arrested by local police in Raleigh, Cary or another jurisdiction or by Wake County Sheriff's Deputies, you will most likely be facing state charges.
If accused of state charges, you will have a first appearance in District Court at the Wake County Justice Center. Following this first appearance, those facing misdemeanors will continue to have their cases resolved in District Court, while those facing felony charges could be bound over to Superior Court.
Federal charges will be heard in a U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The Eastern District has six courthouses, including one in Raleigh. Your attorney will need to be licensed in the Eastern District to represent you. He or she should also be familiar with the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence.
Attorney David Coolidge represents clients in state District and Superior Courts, as well as in the federal district courts of the Eastern District of North Carolina. As a licensed federal criminal defense attorney, he can represent you on any federal charges, including drug offenses, fraud, and child pornography charges.
Thousands of students call Wake County and the surrounding area home for their college experience. These students come from around the world and from every walk of life. They attend schools like North Carolina State University (NCSU), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), Duke University, Wake Technical Community College (Wake Tech), Meredith College, Shaw University, and William Peace University. For most, this may be the first time that they experienced the freedom of living without parental influence. The college life can be rewarding but it also offers numerous temptations that can often lead to criminal charges.
These college students face the same penalties as anyone else arrested in Wake County. However, they can face additional consequences at school. Colleges and universities may suspend or expel students based on criminal accusations on or off campus.
At Coolidge Law Firm, we understand that a criminal accusation can deeply harm a student's future. We fight to preserve your opportunities. Your life—and your academic career—are not over simply because you were arrested, but you must take action to preserve your opportunities. Call an attorney now.
Some schools, including NCSU and UNC–Chapel Hill, allow for attorney advisors in disciplinary proceedings for matters not related to academic dishonesty. We have successfully represented students at these proceedings and we can help you preserve your bright future.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate predicament of being arrested, remember that you are innocent until proven guilty. You may believe that your only hope is to plead not guilty and set out to prove your innocence. While you have the absolute right to plead not guilty and be tried by a jury, you have no obligation to prove your innocence. You also have other options that can result in a positive outcome.
Wake County has diversion programs for both felonies and misdemeanors. However, the prosecutor must approve. At Coolidge Law Firm, we understand the availability and requirements of these alternative prosecution programs and we regularly achieve the prosecutors approval to place our clients in such programs.
The fact remains that the majority of cases are handled by plea agreements. We never railroad our clients into plea agreements with the state. However, we always seek out every possible option to our client so that we can help your as our client make the most informed decision about your case.
As trial attorneys, we always exhaust all possible avenues to have your charges dismissed. We prepare your case as though we will be forced to defend you before a jury of your peers. The prosecution must prove every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. This heavy burden never transfers to the defense.
We will also carefully examine every piece of evidence that the prosecution says proves your guilt. The police must obtain evidence without violating your constitutional right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. If they violated your rights, we will discuss this with you and take the appropriate action to have this evidence suppressed such that it cannot be used against you at a trial. We may even ask the judge to dismiss your charges.
Your attorney can call the accuracy and/or reliability of evidence into question. For instance, at Coolidge Law Firm, we employ the services of a DWI expert who can analyze tests and police procedure, and testify to any faults.
Do not face the daunting task of defending yourself against criminal charges. Options exist. Life will continue. We know the doubt that you feel inside and we will be there each step of the way to help you make the most informed decision about your case.
Time is crucial when you face criminal accusations in Wake County. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can act to protect your rights. We are proud to represent the accused in the Wake County courts and the federal district courts of North Carolina. We represent residents of Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Garner, Zebulon, Rolesville, Wendell, Knightdale, Morrisville, and Fuquay-Varina. Call us today at (919) 239-8448 to schedule a free consultation.

Real-time panorama editor
A brand new experience with the pixel-accurate feature
Simple and efficient Mask tool
Green to keep and red to discard
Multiple points of view support
Stitching together aerial photos has never been easier
400Input File Formats Autopano supports over 400 input file formats, including the RAW output from almost all cameras.
7Export File Formats Autopano allows you to generate your panoramas in JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD / PSB, HDR, EXR and KRO, in 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit, depending on the format.
3Pre-Stitching Plugins Neutralhazer Light to remove the haze from landscape photos, batch processing of images by third-party software and the Adobe® Lens Profile plugin.
360360° x 180° Panoramas Autopano can assemble images taken with a fisheye lens. You can create 360 x 180° panoramas with a minimum of images.
Complete List of Features
An intuitive interface
Autopano interface has been designed to ease the work and make it pleasant. Dark gray predominates and highlights the colors of your images like never before. All the tools have common ergonomics.
Multi-platform, multi-lingual
Autopano runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. It is available in 12 languages including English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Turkish.
APG ONLY Saving the workspace
Autopano Giga allows you to save your workspace to quickly locate all current projects the next time you open the software.
APG ONLY Customizable interface
The Autopano Giga interface is customizable. You can enable or disable certain components, move them or even make them into independent windows. You can also choose a lighter skin for the windows.
The best image stitching technology in the world
Behind Autopano simplicity and ease of use lurks a stitching engine based on advanced algorithms. The image stitching technology (SIFT) included in Autopano was developed as part of a research project at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada). It has been mathematically proven to be the best technology in the world at recognizing similarities between images.
Auto correction of moving objects
During shooting, it often happens that people or objects move. In this case, a typical blend of images creates ghosting (transparent artifacts) in the overlap zone. Autopano includes an anti-ghost blender applicable even on gigapixel images. A world first.
Simple and efficient Mask tool: just place green targets on what to keep or red targets on what to discard
APG ONLY Take control over the automatic anti-ghost tool of Autopano Giga: the brand new Mask tool lets you choose, in the overlapping areas, what you want to keep or discard in your panorama. No need to paint over the entire person or object: just place one or two targets on it and Autopano Giga will recognize the whole shape. And with the Preview mode described above, get an instant result of what your panorama will look like after the rendering depending on the different constraints you added.
APG ONLY Seams visual feedback: The visualization of the seams really helps understand overlapping / moving objects better. It really helps you choose which moving objects you want to keep and the ones you want to erase.
Analysis and automatic classification of a batch of images
Do you have a folder or a memory card full of photos? Launch detection on all images; Autopano groups together only those images that make up panoramas and ignores all irrelevant images. No need to specify the order of images in each view: Autopano will find them by itself. The detection power of Autopano is much better than the human eye, so the software can find relationships that you might have missed visually.
Manual editor of control points
For difficult image stitchings, Autopano previously offered a control points editor to force the software to add links in user-defined areas. Version 3.5 goes further by allowing point-by-point manual addition of links between adjacent images. There is no reason to miss a stitching, however complex.
Stitching together aerial photos or shot from multiple points of view
APG ONLY In a notable innovation, the management of multiple viewpoints allows you to assemble multiple images that were not taken from the same perspective. Aerial photos or pictures taken in parallel or linear mode can now be stitched together. This also allows greater tolerance of photos taken freehand.
RAW Support
Autopano Giga supports over 400 input file formats, including the RAW output from almost all cameras.
Multidirectional detection
The shooting of landscape panoramas may take place along one or more lines, one or more columns, vertically, horizontally, diagonally, macro, telephoto, leaning… all on a tripod or even freehand.
Support of fisheye lenses
Autopano Giga can assemble images taken with a fisheye lens. You can create 360 x 180° panoramas with a minimum of images.
Prevents vignetting effect
The phenomenon happens sometimes with big panoramas, especially in blue sky or star filled sky. Autopano 4 includes a new color correction engine that prevents this vignetting effect. Thank to this new correction engine, your panorama is simply perfect straight from the box.
Hover the panorama on the left to see the difference.
Automatic color and exposure correction
Autopano is the only image stitching software to perfectly resolve the color and exposure equation. Joins between adjacent images are flawless, both in color balance and in exposure. Make your shots as you see fit, even in automatic mode: the software will take care to match your images. Even better: you can choose a reference image that will give its color temperature the others, and even adjust the color and exposure correction image by image.
Neutralhazer Light anti-haze filter
APG ONLY Finally get rid of the haze that can ruin some of your landscape panoramas. Autopano Giga provides a powerful tool that removes the whiteout of your photos: a function based on the latest scientific image research. Specifically, the software analyzes the images pixel by pixel and shows the color of each pixel according to its depth in the image. To go even further, discover the Neutralhazer filter for Photoshop (option).
Programmable exposure fusion
APG ONLY Exposure fusion allows the blending of bracketed images, keeping the best colors for each exposure. This increases the color dynamics and creates a balanced panorama, very close to reality. Example: If you photograph a room from inside, the window giving to the outside may appear completely white, completely overexposed, or conversely, the interior may be dark but the exterior will be visible. Exposure fusion of multiple photos allows you to keep both interior and exterior colors, to get a balanced and natural image, closer to what you see with the naked eye. Autopano Giga enables exposure fusion and provides settings for adjusting the fusion and the strength of dark and light tones.
Generating HDR images
Not to be confused with the concept of exposure fusion, the HDR (High Dynamic Range) output also augments the color dynamic range from bracketed images, but in a color space not viewable on standard screens. HDR export is useful for post-treatment in a dedicated software program. Autopano has two HDR export formats: .hdr and .exr. If you only need to maintain the best color for each exposure for display on screen or print, opt for exposure fusion function.
Little-Planet or Spherical? Choose between 10 projections the one that best suits your image
Autopano offers new projections for your panoramas, including Little-Planet, Panini, Hammer, Mirror Ball, Orthographic and more. Choose the projection in a single click, adjust your image with the Panorama Move option and have a real-time preview of the final result. If you want to make a 360° panorama, you can choose the cylindrical or spherical projection. If you have a panorama that includes architectural monuments, you might prefer to retain the rectilinear projection, which will preserve their straight lines. You can also create original panoramas with projections like Little-Planet or Mirror Ball. Not sure of what projection to choose? Autopano can automatically select the most suitable projection for your panorama.
Support of Adobe® Lens Profile calibration parameters
APG ONLY Autopano Giga supports Adobe ® Lens Profile calibration profiles. This allows you to automatically correct distortions, chromatic aberrations and vignetting, depending on your lens model. You can download the calibration profile for your lens with Adobe® Lens Profile downloader, or create your own calibration profile in Adobe® Lens Profile Creator and then import it into Autopano Giga.
Easy straightening of panoramas
Autopano integrates several tools to help you adjust the alignment of your panorama. The most talked about tool is probably the vertical lines tool: draw a line on what should be vertical (monument, tree, pillar…) and realignment is automatic. You can also manipulate the panorama with your mouse to visually adjust the horizon or effect a rotation.
Easy straightening of panoramas
Autopano can crop your panoramas automatically, preserving the maximum image surface. You can also manually reframe your panoramas, whether free hand or by applying a ratio (e.g. 3:1). A button also allows you to retain the entire sphere (360° x 180°).
Auto horizon
No more bent or leaning panoramas. Autopano automatically presents you with a horizontally adjusted panorama. You can also adjust it manually as you see fit.
Digital transformation
To adjust the geometry as accurately as possible, use the pitch, yaw and roll tools to shift the view, or rotate to a thousandth of a degree.
Real time modifications
All geometric tools take advantage of the real-time panorama editor. You can see immediately the result of your modifications. Editing a panorama becomes a real pleasure.
Preview mode: Your rendering, before even rendering it
You enjoy the many settings and adjustments you can make in Autopano's panorama editor. As you are meticulous, you like to render your panorama after each operation just to check if everything is right. The new Preview mode is made for you: activate it and get an exact preview of your final rendered panorama, either entirely or for a smaller zone. All algorithms are applied, including the exposure fusion, the automatic anti-ghost and the new, incredible Mask tool.
Stitching presets
The final assembly of your panorama implements various settings and algorithms according to the type of your panorama and the desired color correction. To make the choice easier, Autopano offers pre-configured stitching profiles. For example, simply select "Anti-ghost" so that all settings adapt to a panorama in which objects have moved. Of course, you can also make all the settings manually, as with all Autopano automation.
Export to multi-layer PSD
Autopano can of course generate your panoramas in JPG or PNG, for example, but can also export to PSD, PSB or TIFF files, including layers. This creates a document containing both the stitched panorama and the individual images, so you can make any edits you want in Photoshop®.
Batch rendering manager
To save you time, Autopano incorporates a batch-rendering manager. You can prepare several panoramas, place them in the queue and then run all renders. You can then go away and come back later to find all the panoramas generated.
Multiple export formats
Autopano allows you to generate your panoramas in JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD / PSB, HDR, EXR and KRO, in 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit, depending on the format.
Group export
If you have sorted the images that make up your panorama according to a particular criterion (e.g. opening, bracket…), you can choose to generate one file per group.
Naming schemes
To ease the task of naming a large number of panoramas, you can choose your own naming scheme that will apply to all panoramas generated by choosing your own criteria (number of images assembled, name of the first image, incremental number…).
Pre-stitching plugins
APG ONLY Autopano Giga supports the use of plugins, enabling you to apply additional processes to your images. There are currently three plug-ins: Neutralhazer Light to remove the haze from landscape photos, the batch processing of images by third-party software and the Adobe® Lens Profile plugin, which supports calibration files. The plugins library is naturally meant to expand to offer useful tools to process your images before the stitching.
Support for motorized panoramic heads
Autopano supports motorized panoramic heads, including Panogear, GigaPan, Merlin / Orion, Clauss Rodeon and Seitz VR Drive II (read the Seitz-Kolor partnership announcement). This module allows you to import images and logs from your motorized panoramic head sessions; the stitching is faster and more reliable, even for panoramas composed of hundreds or thousands of images.
APG ONLY Panogear, GigaPan, Merlin / Orion, Clauss Rodeon and Seitz VR Drive II (read the Seitz-Kolor partnership announcement).
APP ONLY Panogear, GigaPan, Merlin / Orion.
Creation of qualified image layers
In the panorama editor, you can classify the different images that make up your panorama according to several different criteria: aperture, bracket, speed, focal distance… You can also classify them according to your own criteria. You will be able to create layers according to the chosen criterion and thus to separate the parts of the panorama to export them individually and provide greater editing freedom.
Send your images from Picasa, Bridge and Lightroom to Autopano
Autopano comes with 4 plugins that you can install if you have one of these third-party applications: Picasa, Bridge and Lightroom. These plugins let you export a group of images from your favorite photo management application to Autopano. The modifications you may have done in these applications on your photos are automatically conserved during the export process.
APG ONLY Picasa, Bridge and Lightroom.
APP ONLY Picasa.
With automation, it's a cinch
You can enable all the automation features of Autopano Giga: automatic detection, automatic color correction, automatic color histogram, auto-cropping, and even automatic rendering, saving the project file and automatically closing the program! It is a huge time saver, especially if you have dozens or hundreds of panoramas to be created.
Batch processing of images by third-party software
APG ONLY Autopano Giga allows you to apply processes to batches of images by invoking third-party scripts. This can be useful in processing your images before assembly. You can call different types of scripts, for example to produce focus stacking.

The court heard six hours of arguments on Monday before going into deliberations. After several hours, it announced it would issue the decision at 10 a.m. (0900 GMT) Tuesday, an unusual but not unprecedented move.
The high court normally issues the decisions the same day it hears arguments. But prosecutor general Luigio Riello told reporters that "in very complex cases, it happens" that the court takes another day.
Lawyers for Knox's co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, declined to speculate on what the delay could mean for the decision. Both were acquitted in 2011.

|VOLUME XVIII NUMBER 3 Spring 2003
Mildred Runnells Battey shared some of her memories as a student at Keene Normal School, like the times she and her roommate would go downstairs after hours and make popcorn. Mildred was eager to hear about what was happening at KSC today. She is a very cheerful alum to spend time with, sharing stories of Keene.
Marion Halladay Keef was delighted to receive a decorated pumpkin that Norma Walker '51 brought to her. Marion talked about her birthday party, which she had enjoyed. She was 103 and her son came from Rochester, N.Y., to visit her. Marion is very proud of him.
On a beautiful October day Cassie Haven Sweet was surprised when Norma Walker '51 arrived for a visit. Cassie had recently had a visit from her grandson and his new wife, who had come to Vermont because she had never seen the fall foliage. Cassie asked about her classmates Abbie Brown, Helen Kimball Houston, Catherine Moore, and Irene McNamara. Norma was able to give her news of each one.
Rosetta Brown Lowe enjoyed a tour of Sullivan, Marlow, Walpole, and Acworth, N.H., and Brattleboro, Vt. She was excited about being in Acworth because it was the town where she began her teaching career in 1927-1929. However, she didn't recognize many places because of the changes over the years. Rosetta had the opportunity to vote by absentee ballot. She is a very patriotic American. She received a letter from her longtime friend and classmate Margaret Grover Colburn. Would you believe they have corresponded regularly since 1927?
Mary Phelan Lane invited Norma Walker '51 for lunch when she came for a visit. Mary has many humorous stories about teaching in a one-room school in Stoddard, N.H., where she had eight grades. Mary and Norma shared information about people and places in Stoddard while enjoying their lunch.
IN MEMORIAM: Gladys Fairfield Stover '28 passed away Nov. 21, 2002, in Peterborough, N.H. She was an elementary school teacher in Washington, N.H., and created a cottage industry with her sewing machine.
Evelyn Warren Bailey writes frequently to Norma Walker '51. She would enjoy hearing from her classmates. Evelyn likes to read the Class Notes section of Keene State Today.

According to MMO-Champion, Blizzard trademarked "Mists of Pandaria" last week under computer game software. Our friends over at Wowhead found the official filing if you'd like to take a look at it. Wowhead also pointed out that a Pandaria domain was purchased last week.
So what is Mists of Pandaria? One idea that springs to mind might be a new novel, but that doesn't fit since it was filed under game software. With a book out of the running, it's possible that it's the title of the next expansion. After all, BlizzCon is only a couple months away. As Wowhead pointed out, Cataclysm was filed for trademark on June 26, 2009 and its domain was bought subsequently. The Cataclysm expansion was then announced at BlizzCon 2009 on August 21, 2009.
What do you think? Is Mists of Pandaria the next WoW expansion or a false alarm? If it is an expansion, will the pandaren be a playable race? Share your thoughts in the comments below or in our WoW general forum.

Study shows positive impact of Genesee Community College
BATAVIA – Along with its goal of educating students and improving jobs and business opportunities, Genesee Community College provides a $169 million annual impact on the four counties its serves.
A detailed study by Economic Modeling Specialists released Wednesday at a meeting that included representatives of the county Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Center, shows the "impact continues to grow dramatically."
The impact for Genesee County is $90.4 million. The study also shows substantial impact on three neighboring counties where GCC has satellite campuses: Wyoming, $33.8 million; Orleans, $25.6 million; and Livingston, $19.3 million.
A summary shows an annual $9.7 million net return to taxpayers through taxes paid by former students, which total $32.7 million, minus the state aid and local property tax supporting the college, which total $23 million.
Since its founding in 1966, GCC has graduated more than 24,000 students. About 70 percent of them remain in the area and have lifetime earnings averaging more than $400,000 over what high school graduates make. Seventy percent of that group live within a 30-minute drive of a GCC campus.
"Revenue flowing into state and local coffers as the result of GCC operations is now greater than the tax support state and local governments provide," the study showed.
Another asset is the business training programs that "boost productivity and earnings of local businesses," according to the research. Other factors are an $11.4 million reduction in health and social service spending because of higher education and the support of 4,220 jobs in the four counties.
The research shows that GCC's cost per full-time equivalent student is $7,564, among the lowest of all SUNY schools and 21 percent lower than the state average. That was aided by $4.2 million in grants.

LAUNCH PADS: The launch of Harper's Bazaar France — initially planned for sometime this year — has been postponed to 2015 as it hunts for a new editor in chief, according to industry sources in Paris. Hearst Magazines International and Groupe Marie Claire, publisher of Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan in France, are behind the French version.
Separately, Hearst U.K. said it would launch a British version of Town & Country magazine in May. Biannual in frequency, it is to be produced by the U.K. Harper's Bazaar editorial team, with the title's editor in chief Justine Picardie holding the same title at British Town & Country.
This story first appeared in the January 22, 2014 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Meribeth Parker, group publishing director for Harper's Bazaar, Elle and Elle Decoration in the U.K., will also take on that role for Town & Country. The new British title will have a cover price of 4 pounds, or about $6.50 at current exchange, and will launch with a print run of 60,000.
Meanwhile, sources said Alexandra Senes, who had been appointed editor in chief of the forthcoming Harper's Bazaar France, is no longer associated with the project.
Reached by WWD, a spokesperson for Hearst Magazine International said: "We are committed to bringing Harper's Bazaar to France, home to so much of the world's great fashion. We're developing the magazine's identity and building the editorial team and will enter the market with a compelling product for both readers and marketers."
A spokesperson for Groupe Marie Claire declined to comment.
Sources said potential candidates to lead Harper's Bazaar France include Anne Bianchi, currently editor in chief of women's monthly magazine Be. Lagardère Active, the publisher of Be, recently put the magazine on the block.

Dale Earnhardt, revealing his two recent concussions, Oct. 11th, flanked by team owner Rick Hendrick (L) and crew chief Steve Letarte (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
Hey, good-news, bad-news.
First, the really good-news:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will likely be medically cleared Tuesday afternoon to race in next weekend's Martinsville 500, team owner Rick Hendrick says.
Earnhardt, sidelined by neurosurgeon Dr. Jerry Petty for two weeks after two concussions, one here in testing August 29th and a second October 7th at Talladega, has been in Pittsburgh, Pa., for evaluation by medical specialists.
Hendrick says he has talked with Dr. Petty "and he said everything looked good and everything was fine."
The final hurdle will apparently be a test Monday in a race car at the Gresham SC road course, with Dr. Petty watching.
"Dale will be back in the car, and he (Petty) will make the decision with a final test on Tuesday (in Charlotte office).
"So we don't foresee any problems.
"I talked to the doctor (in Pennsylvania) myself, and everything went good in Pittsburgh, and Dr. Petty felt real good about it.
"I will be shocked if he's not in the car (at Martinsville). Everything looks good: his attitude and the way he feels.
"He's had no headaches since Thursday or Friday of Charlotte (Oct. 11-12). And the tests have gone real well.
"I think Dr. Petty is just being super-cautious, and I applaud him for that."
More good-news:
-- A NASCAR Truck race at Eldora?
NASCAR officials have been secretly working with Tony Stewart, and apparently Robby Gordon, on what could be a major reworking of the sport's Truck series...for at least a race or two.
Think big, big shocks, like Gordon puts on his Baja/Dakar rigs.
Think dirt track racing, like Stewart's Eldora.
Heck, maybe even think Robby Gordon's SuperTrucks: http://stadiumsupertrucks.com/sst/
Okay, don't get carried away.
But certainly think about those big stadium crowds and that demographic.
Just how far to go with all this, and exactly what direction, is still up in the air.
Maybe it's just Eldora.
But it looks like NASCAR is willing to look outside the box here.
That's great.
On the other hand:
It's down-the-stretch, only four weeks to go till the Homestead-Miami NASCAR finale....and, oh, by the way, on your way to Martinsville Speedway for next Sunday's 500, can you guys drop by Phoenix International Raceway for a couple days testing those 2013s?
This season has dragged on since February, virtually non-stop, and teams haven't had a break since mid-July. Crews are flat exhausted, worn out, running on adrenalin.
And NASCAR is hitting them up for more 2013 testing.
It is painfully clear that this 2013 NASCAR stock car project is behind schedule, no question. Apparently it is way, way behind schedule.
And Detroit manufacturers are increasingly irate about the situation.
NASCAR has been trying to get the sport's top drivers to participate in these tests, but car makers, perhaps demonstrating their displeasure, are sending part-timers.
That two-day test at Texas Motor Speedway 10 days ago was pretty much wasted, because teams didn't have real steel-bodied race cars. Detroit car makers are behind schedule in that.
Here at least one car -- Brian Vickers' Toyota -- had full sheet metal, and Toyota teams say they now have full sheet metal for 2013s.
However the specs NASCAR officials have given teams to work with have seemingly been way, way off the mark aerodynamically. And it's unclear how much more tweaking will need to be done to make these 2013s drivable, much less raceable.
Ford's Trevor Bayne was complaining mightily after his 2013 runs here the other day.
The Wednesday-Thursday test at Kansas Speedway was seemingly little short of a disaster the first day. Then Vickers' crew was given the go-ahead to quietly make some significant modifications for Thursday's runs; and Vickers was then suddenly fast enough to put it 10th or 15th fastest overall, when matched with the race-ready 2012s here.
Rival car makers, however, appear miffed. And it's unclear how much political wrangling, and haranguing, is going on now behind closed doors.

Protection against moisture
In order to preserve your watch's original level of water-resistance, it is essential to carry out an annual check of all its joints at an authorized Vacheron Constantin Service Center.
You are advised to ensure that your use of your watch is consistent with its level of water-resistance. In order to protect the movement from moisture, ensure that the crown is always pushed back in or screwed down against the case, especially after setting the time or adjusting its functions.
If water accidentally seeps inside the case or if you notice any trace of moisture, take your watch as quickly as possible to your nearest authorized Vacheron Constantin Service Center.
After contact with sea water, it is advisable to rinse your watch in fresh water (in the case of water-resistant watches), and then to dry it with a non-abrasive cloth.
We strongly advise you to read carefully the User Guide, which will provide you with all the information you require to make the best use of your watch and its bracelet.

Who's At The Door? Use Images to Find out!
Lesson 12 of 19
Objective: SWBAT use words acquired through reading to describe images (with adjectives) that demonstrate understanding of characters in a story.
- Miss Nelson is Back by Harry Allard
- 'Shadows In The Doorway' powerpoint
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: imaging, adjectives, character, literature
- 'Imaging & Visualizing Strategies' poster
- Set up the whiteboard
- 'Imaging with Adjectives' worksheet
- Each student one piece of construction paper for the background, a black scrap for the shirt and then other colored scraps for the tights and shoes.
I like this story because it has great descriptors and 3 scenes where the kids have to guess who is coming in the door. This makes the kids want to 'keep reading' and use imaging to predict who is at the door. The reading level is this story is 2.9, which falls at the top of the lexile for 2nd grade. I read this story to the kids because it has some difficult vocabulary and the students need the opportunity to comprehend literature in the grade 2 complexity band proficiency with scaffolding at the high end of the range. (RL.2.10)
** "Imaging" is the term that my district uses for "visualizing". In order to stay true to the district expectations, I'll continue to use this verbage. Visualizing is a critical skill for 2nd graders because they need to 'go deeper' in the text. By visualizing as they read, they are creating and tweaking images in their minds as they actively read. This kind of 'close reading', forming images using text, verifying and changing those images, and ultimately comparing their images to the author, creates critical readers and deepens comprehension.
Resources (5)
Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- Put up the powerpoint. "Shadows.... let's describe these shadows with some adjectives - what do they look like?" Take ideas. "Can you use imaging to tell me who they are?"
- "Who could these characters be?"
- This is what my introduction sounded like.
It would be great fun to put up a black outline on the window your door, if possible. I can't do this because my door is solid, but consider this.
The author has great examples that the kids will connect to, including illustrations and text that help kids create images to contribute meaning to the text. (RL.2.7) The opportunity to examine words and pictures in a book and form images that can be verified or changed allows kids to facilitate the learning process and be an active reader, a shift in learning suggested by the Common Core Standards. We want kids to take charge of their reading by imaging/visualizing as they read, bringing in background knowledge and adding information from the text.
Resources (2)
Teacher's Turn
- "We have talked about many ways that imaging/visualizing help us. The images we create are based on our background knowledge and words in the literature book. Good authors use words called adjectives to describe characters and give us better images.
- "I'll add that to my 'imaging/visualizing poster."
Imaging is better with adjectives.
- "In this story today, the author gives us three chances to imagine a character and gives us adjectives, or descriptive words to help us check our image."
- I'll read the beginning and stop when we can use our imaging strategy."
- Read to page 9 and show the picture. "I'll add his 'shadow' to the door on the whiteboard. What adjectives could I use to describe him?" (fat, bald, big ears). "Let's read a bit more to find out more about him."
- Read pages 11-13. "Let me think about words that could describe this character – mention several and then write some under the picture. "I'll read now and verify my description and image and add some new words." (boring, old...) Take the time to make sure students are using the text and illustrations to support their images.
- This is what our discussion looked like in class.
- Take a look at the whiteboard when we were done.
Guided practice
- Pass out the worksheet.
- "Let's read some more and you can help me describe the next character."
- Read through page 17 and show the picture.
- "What words could we use to describe this person?" Discuss ideas and use some adjectives as well as taking ideas from the kids. (tall, lumpy, fake) "Let's verify our words with the text." Read pages 18-19 and recheck the words.
- Make sure you go back to the text - this is the crux of the lesson. Go back to the text and verify your images. Here's an example of how we used the text.
- This is our discussion about the picture.
- The whiteboard looked like this when we were done.
My goal through this discussion with students about adjectives is to share ideas and brainstorm. The students have different vocabulary levels – they need to hear higher level words through discussions and from books to increase their own vocabulary. The Common Core Standard for L.2.6 says that students will use words acquired through conversations, reading, and being read to, and responding to texts, using adjectives to describe. I want to have rich discussions and garner a variety of words that the students can choose from to describe the character.

Students Take a Turn
Explain the task
- "Now it's your turn to describe two more characters."
- Read to page 25 and stop. "Who do you think is at the door? Viola Swamp! – right."
- "Take a minute and draw an image and then I'll read and let you write some adjectives."
- "Let's check the text - was your image right? The text says she was a 'witch'!"
- Read pages 27-28 and let the kids write several words.
- Take ideas – who wants to share your words?" Here's our discussion about the words.
Finish the story
The kids also wanted to draw an image for the teacher in the end, but the illustrator shows the picture. They really and a GREAT time with the humor of the book - understanding that the teacher dressed up like Viola Swamp!
I finished the story and we talked about the humor and irony. Some of the kids understood more than others, but they all enjoyed the imaging and using adjectives to describe the characters.

Share What You've Learned
Describe the task
- "There were so many great descriptive words to help with imaging."
- "I"ll give you a chance to create an image of Viola as a witch. I brought some black paper and colored paper."
- "You'll be making a picture with a witch skirt, tights and witch shoes. Think about the image you had in your mind. We saw her face but never her shoes. You can create whatever kind of shoes and tights your want. Maybe you saw The Wizard of Oz – that witch had interesting shoes. Maybe in your background knowledge you saw a movie or read a book about a mean witch. You can create whatever you'd like." Here's how I described the task.
- "When you're done, you need to add the words – 'The image of my witch. She is….' And write your describing words all over the poster." I wrote the words and prompts on the whiteboard.
- Be ready to share your image and tell why you chose those words.
Give kids time to work
- This is what it looked like when my students are working on the project and these were my students' projects.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with academic challenges may need help thinking of vocabulary words and synonyms for the witch. I would give them some ideas on whiteboards at their desk or work with them as a group.
Challenge students with higher language to think of 'juicier' words to describe their image. Instead of 'scary' and 'bad' ask them to think of 'older kid words' – perhaps 'frightening' or 'obnoxious'.

I think this is an important topic for discussion because I think lucid dreaming is the altered reality that many people are seeking when they use drugs. I've had a bit of experience with drugs, but I imagine if lucid dreaming had been offered to me instead: "O.K. I've got something new here. Take this and you will enter into an alternate universe where all your senses function normally. Your vision and hearing will be clear, not distorted. This experience will last up about 20 minutes. You can experience this alternate reality the same way you experience normal waking reality and if it freaks you out, you can end it instantly. Oh and by the way, it's 100% natural, no side effects, no hangover, no flashbacks, no risk of overdose." If I could have had the lucid dream experiences I have now, I probably would have stopped using drugs because that was really the experience I was searching for but just didn't know it.

Do we have any evidence that Tat has a solid idea of the metaphysics of this universe worked out in his head? I don't think so. I think he's making up the "how does one become a devil, how does one rebel against the Devil and not get thrown into Hell," etc etc stuff as he goes along and we shouldn't at all expect it to be internally consistent. It's just a convenient way for him to tell a story.

Oh, I see. Thank you. I always supposed them to have been devil girls from the dawn of time, from the war in heaven and all that. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me (with Pebbles being bomfed as a direct revelation of that fact) that you could have been a human before and then change to a devil.
And someone mentioned that the BOMF can actually be a way of switching places with your opposite from the real world to the mirror world. That is an ingenious suggestion. That is an awesome twist. Poor human Pebbles might be roaming in a world of monsters. ;_;

When asked how he balances the various storylines involving cute animals, love stories, cosmic beings, drug jokes and other recurring subjects, Ishida jokingly blames ADD. "I jump around between characters and situations pretty much on a whim. The longer storylines help to pull it all together, to harmonize the disparate elements in the strip. And that happens organically. Very little planning. I do a couple of strips in sequence, and before I know it, it snowballs into a month long arc."

and we don't exactly have enough given information in regards to blue's status as a being prior to becoming a devil person. we dont know if she's human, a goddess or demigoddess of some sort, what it means in regards to the fact she used to attend divinity school... as we don't have enough information about divinity school, its requirements for attendance, ect...
so uh, take that as you will?
Very true, and you bring up an excellent point. Which is why the speculation is all the more enjoyable!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Tat planned this out (as others have mentioned/proven) - as I said before, I'm chalking a lot of this up to his not really knowing what he was gonna do with the story in previous strips. I do, however, enjoy speculating where this will go in the future, planned or unplanned - and who knows, maybe Tat will glean some inspiration from something someone says here.
That being said...What do you think Blue is, anyway?
Methinks she was a human spirit in training. I like the idea that Divinity School was located in the world of spirits and such - we know that the boundaries between the afterlife and the Sinfest world are pretty thin (see: all the times anyone's ever visited Hell, rescued someone out of Hell, Book Zombie, life at the Mansion, the angels, etc) so it's not beyond belief that a spirit could seek employment in both realms, and that could also explain why the Devil was wandering around there when he was younger (before the Fall) - and why we see a young Jesus studying there before he would have been old enough to go gathering disciples in the "Real World" (he was in training before he was sent to Earth). Also why Blue would be around at the same time.
As to why she's a devil-girl now...I'm sticking with my BOMF-Mirror theory. Maybe what's important is not necessarily the corporeal body, but the mutable human soul? The Devil's not so concerned about what happens to your physical body, after all - he wants to corrupt the inside. Or bring the corrupted inside out. Or something.
(For the record, I'm also making this up as I go.)

Also, re: the inconsistencies with past strips... I think Tats has revised his ideas for Baby Blue and Fuschia a lot. I've always been a bit confused by their backstories because in the archives, I swear they were originally bomfed into existence by D-Man. They were ordinary girls and then he bomfed them into devil girls in one of the strips. Does no-one except me recall that?
are you maybe thinking of
this strip
? and followups - i think this has happened a couple of times, where jesus zaps them into humans and the devil has to bomf them back.

All law school rankings cover a period from September 1, 2012 to January 28, 2013. Graduateprograms.com assigns 15 ranking categories to each graduate program at each graduate school. Rankings cover a variety of student topics, such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid, and quality of network.
School rankings for specific graduate programs (business, law, engineering etc.) are determined by comparing the sum of the average scores in each of the 15 subcategories. Graduate programs are not ranked until the number of student surveys completed reaches a minimum threshold.

David Beckham has denied reports he is planning to move to Australia.
The British sportsman signed a new two-year deal with Los Angeles Galaxy in January (12) but his future at the club was thrown into question after an official at Football Federation Australia alleged he had been approached by Beckham's representatives.
The news sparked fevered speculation David Beckham was heading Down Under with his singer/fashion designer wife Victoria and their four children, but the soccer ace is adamant the famous family is staying in California.
A spokesman for David Beckham says, "David is completely focused on the MLS (Major League Soccer) play-offs and winning another Championship with the Galaxy. There's always enormous interest from clubs across world in signing David. He has absolutely no plans to play in Australia."

Limiting the Government's Economic Warfare
By J. Vincent Aprile II
In both the investigative and post-indictment phases of criminal cases, the police and prosecution often have the ability to conduct economic warfare against defendants, who have not yet been adjudicated guilty of any offense. When the defendant has an apparently legitimate business enterprise with a potential connection to the suspected offense, police and prosecutors have a variety of ways to undermine the ability of the suspect to maintain his or her livelihood and to deplete the suspect's financial resources. What are the limitations on a prosecutor's ability to conduct economic warfare, and where does a prosecutor go for guidance on these questions?
The ABA Criminal Justice Standards on Prosecutorial Investigations (February 2008) advise in a variety of situations that prosecutors should factor into their decisions the impact any specific investigative technique or its application may have on legitimate business operations. These standards acknowledge that the resort to both subpoenas and search warrants may adversely impact legitimate businesses and recognize the need for prosecutors to be selective as to the items seized and reasonable in making accommodations to provide access to the seized documents.
Prosecutors and law enforcement officers in this nation's criminal justice system are imbued with a considerable amount of discretion in the investigation and prosecution of crimes. But discretion can be abused and decisions, although discretionary in nature, may in actuality be arbitrary and capricious under the facts and circumstances of a particular case.
The ability of prosecutors, utilizing grand jury subpoenas and search warrants, to seize and maintain the records of an ongoing, apparently legitimate business has the potential to destroy the viability of that enterprise long before the suspect's guilt or innocence has been decided. In some instances, police, prosecutors, and their agents have engaged in "scare" campaigns calculated to entice established as well as potential customers to take their business elsewhere. Similar tactics have been used with employees of targeted businesses, urging them to quit and look for new employment or be tainted by association with their present employer. Even companies that are suppliers and distributors to the business under scrutiny may be pressured by police or prosecutors to cease their dealings with the enterprise under investigative scrutiny or pending prosecution.
This economic warfare is difficult for the defense to counter for a variety of reasons. Often those who are subjected to the scare campaigns are unwilling to confide to the business owner that the police or the prosecution have attempted to poison them against the owner and the enterprise. In many instances the suppliers and distributors do not wish to incur the ire of the police or prosecution by discussing the matter with the affected business. Government agencies that have dealings with the business may well feel that any request made by police or prosecutors should be honored. These agencies may believe that as to the legality of the requests, deference should be given to the police or prosecution.
Legislatures, both federal and state, in the interest of the common good have provided the police and prosecutors with numerous means to impact the viability of business enterprises prior to conviction of the owner and proof that the business was tainted by the criminal activity. In some jurisdictions and in some cases, the return of an indictment against a business owner may be deemed sufficient to justify a government agency immediately limiting the ability of the defendant's business to operate. These laws apparently fail to take into account that an indictment may be obtained with little or no legitimate evidence to support the charge.
When the defense focuses its time and effort on these "economic warfare" issues, which are ancillary to the suspected or charged criminal activity, the investigation and litigation of those matters compete with the defense's responsibility to explore and address the alleged criminal conduct.
A further complication arises when the defense attempts to determine the most effective and appropriate avenues to address these bouts of economic warfare. One obvious avenue would be to go to those in authority over the police or prosecutor engaging in this conduct. This presents an inherent difficulty because the defense may be unable to determine whether the economic warfare has been implicitly or explicitly condoned by those high in the police or prosecutorial chain of command. The defense's resort to other parallel law enforcement agencies or prosecutorial offices may be met with unabashed umbrage that the defense would accuse these other public servants of such inappropriate conduct. Not surprisingly, these parallel offices frequently feel it is their duty to advise the police or prosecutors of the defense's accusations rather than conducting any discreet investigation of the matter.
Where the economic warfare is being conducted prior to an indictment or information, it may be difficult to turn to a criminal court for relief because no court, save in some instances the one supervising the grand jury, is yet involved in the matter. Even once a criminal court has jurisdiction over the case, the more elusive issues of economic warfare may seem beyond the court's jurisdiction.
The economic tools available to law enforcement and the prosecution must be used wisely and carefully lest the government be allowed to punish, at least economically, before conviction and simultaneously gain a litigation advantage by bankrupting a defendant before trial.
Undoubtedly, many prosecutors would never engage in any of these examples of economic warfare and would always, in accordance with the ABA Criminal Justice Standards on Prosecutorial Investigations, take into consideration the impact of investigation techniques on legitimate businesses and provide reasonable accommodations to these businesses to ensure prompt and effective access to seized records and other items important to an ongoing commercial enterprise. Yet there must be a number of police and prosecutors who, whether intentionally or negligently, run roughshod over suspects and unconvicted defendants by the unchecked use of this type of economic warfare.
This is an area where the American Bar Association, through its Criminal Justice Standards, could provide more explicit guidance to prosecutors on how to exercise their discretion with regard to the actions they and the police take that have the potential to cripple or destroy a suspect's apparently legitimate business. Certainly the National District Attorneys Association could more definitively address this area in its National Prosecution Standards (third edition, updated 2009), which already provides prosecutors with guidance in many areas.
Standards that specifically declare certain of these economic practices taboo and require explicit disclosure to the suspect or the defendant of the actions taken by police or prosecution with regard to customers, employees, suppliers, and/or other governmental agencies pertaining to the business in question would go far toward alleviating many of these problems. Informed prosecutors in turn would be better able to advise their own investigators and other law enforcement personnel concerning these matters.

Take a journey through one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in history—and explore the enduring mysteries that remain hidden within its depths.
In 1974, a farmer in China was digging a well when he struck upon fragments of terracotta. Unbeknownst to him, the farmer had uncovered one of the most monumental achievements in human history. Buried beneath the surface of the land were thousands of life-sized statues, constructed over 2,000 years ago—silently and steadfastly guarding the tomb of their master: China's first emperor.
In the years since their discovery, archaeologists have excavated and researched these warriors—exploring their intricacies, uncovering their histories, and unraveling the secrets that have lain beneath our feet since 210 BCE. Yet, questions remain about the elaborate tomb, shrouding the warriors in mystery and calling scientists to continue to explore.
Now, these warriors—symbols of the astounding achievements of mankind and the incredible history of the human race—come to The Franklin Institute for the only east coast engagement of a two-city exhibit tour. Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor takes a unique journey through the story, culture, craft, and science of the figures that promises to awe and inspire.
Unprecedented in its focus on the science and technology used to build, bury, and excavate the Terracotta Army, this brand new exhibit features ten terracotta figures from the burial complex, as well as more than 160 artifacts including weapons, jade pieces, gold ornaments, bronze bells, ceremonial vessels, coins, and architectural pieces of the time. Multimedia and interactive elements complement the artifacts to further engage visitors in hands-on STEM learning aligned with Next Generation Science Standards. Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonders that are the Terracotta Warriors.
When to visit: The best time to visit is aweekday afternoon or on a weekend. Weekday mornings are busier due to field trips.Make your reservation today so that you have an opportunity to experience thisonce-in-a-lifetime exhibition.When to visit:

Voice Disorders: Singer Pink Cancels Salt Lake City Show, Casts Light On Health Problem
Recently, singer Pink postponed and rescheduled her Salt Lake City and Denver concerts for her "Truth About Love Tour," under doctor's orders to rest her voice. Pink tweeted, "Thanks for all the support y'all. Not very dramatic-doctor just wants me on complete vocal rest for four days to heal."
Pink's voice problem is one that occurs quite frequently in singers, teachers or others who use their voice regularly for work. "Even highly trained voice users can develop voice problems," said Dr. Katherine Kendall, Voice Specialist at University of Utah Health Care.
Voice disorders are caused when the voice has a problem with pitch, volume, tone, and other qualities. These problems can occur when the vocal cords don't vibrate normally. However, many voice disorders can be cured with treatment when diagnosed early.
Vocal damage may not hurt, so watch for these 5 signs and symptoms:
• Hoarseness or undesirable voice quality
• Vocal fatigue (voice wears out or worsens with use)
• Fluctuating voice quality
• Reduced volume or pitch flexibility
• Pain or soreness associated with voice use
As in Pink's case, the best thing you can do is give your voice a rest, and drink plenty of water. For more information contact the Voice Disorders Center at University of Utah Health Care at healthcare.utah.edu/ent/ent_services/voice-disorders/ or call 801-587-8368.
